Ok having finally made a foray into the deep, dark and frankly quite scary world of house purchase I have been delivered a body blow at the last hurdle. Having been told by my solicitor that completion would be occuring next week I thought I would give the estate agents, who are also letting agents for this property, a quick courtesy call to let them know. Imagine my shock when I was told that the existing tenant would now be staying until the 27 th of April as per his contract. I was never made aware of this arrangement before and as you can imagine this came as a little bit of a kick in the teeth. Particularly as I have arranged for delivery of furniture later on in March. Are they allowed to do this?? Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated to help calm my threadbare nerves.

you don't say what country your in, assuming you in england, cause everyone who doesn't specify seems to be, as you've probably not signed the papers the vendor can do what they like, they can back out of the sale entirely if they fancy,
it's never a good idea to arranged for delivery of furniture etc to a property you don't own, and have no legal right to at this stage...Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.0 -
If you've exchanged, presumably you've signed a contract? Which states completion on a particular date next week? And that you will have complete and full posession?
Sounds fishy to me. It is the vendor's responsibility to comply with the contract that has been signed and exchanged. Enforce your legal rights. If there is a clause in the contract that allows the vendor to keep his tennant in there until April 27th, then I'd be asking your solicitor questions on why this wasn't brought to your attention!Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. - Jefferson0 -
